Web enabled Road Information System (RIS) coupled with GIS features for National Highways on Golden Quadrilateral of India: Client – National Highways Authority of India, World Bank funded project Government of India has taken an ambitious plan of improvement of National Highway Network of the country. The highway network after improvement needs to be operated and maintained by developing priority programs and schedules of rehabilitation, maintenance and new construction within budget constraints. To maintain these national Highways, a large amount of data on Road Inventory, Traffic, asset Condition etc. are required to be collected, stored, maintained and retrieved on a continuous basis. Presently, no comprehensive information system is maintained by road agencies and investment & management decisions for improvement/ maintenance programs are made based on broad performance indicators such as traffic intensity and riding quality of road network. The alternative strategies of improvement are generally not evaluated based on life cycle cost analysis due to lack of availability of information and non availability of analysis tool with road agency and planning organization. This may give rise to making non optimum budget allocations especially while managing fast expanding network of national highways and addition of new expressway system. This has established a need for developing a modern road Information System coupled with intelligent features for management of National Highways. The RIS system would have the effective role in the process of planning, design, construction and maintenance activities of the department. Budgeting, allocation of funds and maintenance management could be carried out more scientifically through the proposed RIS and thus effective improvements can be achieved in the management of the corridors and environmentally sensitive areas. Considering above requirements CES-Parkman-PB JV under the aegis of the World Bank has developed a state of the art WEB enabled Road Information System (RIS) of about 5880 Kms. of Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) coupled with GIS features for National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to monitor the performance of the highways of Golden Quadrilateral “Jewel in the Crown” project in the almanac of Indian Transportation Infrastructure as a stepping stone towards building the intelligent transport system in India. The RIS would act as a decision support mechanism for monitoring manifold operational activities such as Identify & relate Asset to Highway network Event Inventory & condition monitoring

...Noh is known as the classical lyrics drama of Japan. Noh is a combination of serveral dance and drama forms that came before it. (Noh and Kyogen) It embraces the people's love for the religious and cultral traditions that involve the mix of Japanese Dengaku and Sarugaku (which is a mix between a style of dance and mime). (Noh and Kyogen) Noh is fundamentally a symbolic theatre that focuses on the representation and appreciation of ritual traditions and the appreciation of culture. A tradtitional romantic play in Noh theater is Hanjo (Lady Han). The story of Hanjo is about a yujo named Hanago that works in an inn. A man named Yoshida no Shōshō came into the inn for the night on his journey east. Hanago and Yoshida no Shōshō fell in love and exchanged fans before he leaves for his journey. After Shōshō is gone Hanago becomes nicknamed Hanjo becuase of her deranged and obsessive love for Shōshō with the only memories of him being his fan. In this love story, the fans are a representation of the giving of their hearts to one another (connecting to the plot of which this story was derived from); in which the only memory that the women has of her lost lover is the fan. Throughout the play Hanjo constantly has Shōshō's fan in her posession and the more she waves the fan in the play, the more deranged she becomes thoughout the play. (Keene)
